Antec Introduces The Three Hundred PC Case

Cool, versatile and petite, the Three Hundred enclosure offers gamers and system builders an incredible value
Fremont, CA - April 2, 2008 - Antec, Inc., the leading global brand of
high-performance computer components for the PC upgrade and Do-It-Yourself
markets, today launched the Three Hundred enclosure. Built on the Nine
Hundred's success in the market, this affordable enclosure combines
versatility, convenience and robust cooling to deliver an unbeatable value.

Standing 18 inches tall and weighing 15.9 pounds, the Three Hundred is an
exceptionally manageable case, but still has enough space for nine drive
bays and seven expansion slots. It can accommodate up to a standardATX
motherboard, and has room for even the tallest graphics cards, including the
NVIDIA 8800 series graphics card and the ATI HD 3800 series. This makes
Three Hundred a very scalable case, providing gamers with the room for
cutting-edge components and system builders the flexibility to meet their
customers' demands.

The Three Hundred also features a highly sophisticated quiet cooling system,
far superior to similarly priced enclosures. A top-mounted 140mm fan and a
rear 120mm TriCool fan keep the case cool while 3-speed switch controls let
users find the ideal balance of quiet and cooling. The Three Hundred also
comes with a perforated front bezel to take in air efficiently and a
washable air filter that reduces dust buildup. This robust cooling can keep
up with even the most demanding gaming systems and can be leveraged to build
a top-notch professional PC.

In addition, the Three Hundred has several extremely convenient features,
such as a cable management compartment which helps users keep their systems
organized and ensures uninterrupted airflow. The case also has two USB 2.0
ports and HD Audio In and Out ports on the front for easy access.

"We are excited to introduce the Three Hundred, an enclosure that offers
truly outstanding cooling and performance, especially at its price," said
Scott Richards, senior vice president for Antec. "The Three Hundred
satisfies the demands of gamers, system builders, and anyone else looking
for outstanding value."

Three Hundred is available now through major retailers, e-tailers, and
distributors. The Three Hundred will retail for approximately $59.95 and is
backed by Antec's Quality 3-Year Warranty. For additional product
information and full technical specifications, please visit http://www.antec.com.

I like it! The only beef I have with it is that the mesh on the 5 1/4 bays is oriented at a 45 degree angle to the mesh on the rest of the front. Why would they do that? Also i don't like the placement of the top exhaust fan. I always like things centered, even if its not as effective lol. Also it needs a removable mobo tray!

Being a Nine Hundred owner, I can see the major differences (non removable drive cages first and foremost). I would like to see better pictures of it front on, or disassembled to see how the front mesh actually connects.

As for the top fan... since the power supply is in the bottom, and the stock fan at the rear most position, I just figure that leaves a canvas in the form of a flat top for modders to do their thing.

For $60, I might pick one up to play around with.

Thats nice, to look at you wouldn't think that an 8800 would fit in it.
